Looking for a way to get involved in our community? 🌳
The Gerrish Township Parks & Recreation Committee is looking for one more volunteer to join our group!
What we do:
• Meet once a month (May–October) at the Township Office
• Share ideas and give input on park improvements and projects
• Make recommendations to the Township Board
• Occasionally help out with hands-on park projects
You must be a Gerrish Township property owner (you don’t have to live here full-time).
It’s a great way to help keep our parks looking their best and be part of any improvements!
Interested or have questions? Stop by the Township Office to learn more about next steps.

Good morning,
Gerrish Township will have survey teams from the Department of Homeland Security/MSP, FEMA and the Small Business Association in the Township today 5/19/26 coming to residential areas to make contact with homeowners regarding any damage you may have received due to the recent flooding. They are well credentialed and trained and they will not go in your home. They have a few short questions about how the flooding may have affected you and your residence. This is a necessary process for our local Emergency Management, State and Federal Officials to see if the financial threshold exists to get Federal Declaration financial access. Most of the areas already located by local teams or self reporting to Roscommon County EMD will be re-visited by this group and in Gerrish Township specifically includes areas on the East shore of Higgins Lake and the Cut River area from Co Rd 100 West to the Lake shore. Please know that this is a legitimate activity for the benefit of our community.
Public infrastructure damage will be surveyed at a later date per the meeting with the group this morning.
